trying to sell it probably will not raise much money.

Send it to MS, tell them it doesn't work and you want your money back :)

On a more serious note:
1. To make money, eBay is probably the only real option (without

You could sell it on ebay, then donate some or all of the money to your
favourite FOSS project. It is the easiest way to use it for some good in
the FOSS world as far as I can see.
